Docs is only found in Beta copies of SEV, and in patch 1.20. However the non-beta people only have a scripting manual so far.

I don't know all of the possibilities, but in my mod i used quite a few of them in my mod so far. Take a look at what i did, you might get some ideas.

Docs folder
In the main SE:V folder, there is a Docs folder. It contains a list of all the functions in the engine, and most can be used in VehicleSizes.txt.
